A good reason to support "Occupy Wall Street"

The Libertarians -- in particular, those who follow Alex Jones -- are spreading crappy conspiracy theories about the Occupiers. Yes, it's all a plot by Evil Soros! Also see here:
Despite their honest intentions, many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters are being suckered into a trap and calling for the very “solutions” that are part of the financial elite’s agenda to torpedo the American middle class – higher taxes and more big government.
Actually, government action and higher taxes on the financial elite created the middle class in the first place.

Furthermore, it looks as though someone out there is paying for anti-Occupation comment spam. (By way of Corrente.)

I may have to re-think my cynical attitude toward the Occupiers. Kids, you have made the right enemies. To that extent: Bravo.

I like some of what I'm reading here. We still need an official statement of demands and grievances. I contend that such a statement must contain a clear denunciation of Libertarianism, using that term.
